Jude is a gospel writer who contributed just one chapter of scripture. However, that one chapter contains much to ponder and treasure. One phrase that caught my attention this morning is, "praying in the Holy Ghost." This gospel principle is also taught in D&C 46:30; 50:29-30; and 101:27 and in Matthew 6:8; Romans 8:6; James 4:3; 2 Nephi 4:35; 2 Nephi 32:8-9; Enos 1:18; 3 Nephi 18:20; 3 Nephi 19:24.) I am sure there are many more besides these.
We often rush through our prayers, saying the things we have frequently said. However, if we slow down and strive to sense the whisperings of the Spirit, we can be led in our prayers to pray for the things we most need to pray for and that are in accord with the will of the Lord. Sometimes we will even be led to pray for something we didn't know that we needed to pray for. Prayer is a wonderful blessing from the Lord, to strengthen in our earthly journey.
